Sleeping Venus by Giorgione Story

Sleeping Venus by Giorgione is an oil on canvas in landscape orientation measuring 175 cm (69 in) wide and 108.5 cm (42.7 in) high. It features a very beautiful nude woman reclining in an idyllic Italian landscape. The unclothed woman is sleeping in a peaceful position as she is softly bathed in warm sunlight. Her right arm is outstretched behind and supporting her head. Her left arm is listlessly lying atop her body and drapes across her pubic area. The woman’s legs are crossed with her left leg atop her right leg. She reclines against a large red cushion while she slumbers upon a crumbled white sheet. A rolling landscape of hills provides a peaceful backdrop to the woman’s nap.
